I can't be fooled by a forgery. Or a trim job. And I too am legit - in fact, too legit to quit collecting high grade vintage cards. But I am scared. Very scared. Hold me. |

Kevin, no one was insulting you. The board just expects some specificity instead of innuendo. That's not asking a lot. |

Kevin- I'm sure it is possible for many altered cards to go undetected, but you make it seem like nearly every card out there is tampered with. Collectors might as well just throw in the towel. Frankly, I don't think it's true. Do you see anything good in the hobby? And please don't say I don't want to face the truth, or something to that effect. That is not a defense of an argument. |

Some people are just ahead of their time and simply cannot be understood by mere mortals. I think Brian Wilson wrote about it on Pet Sounds, "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times." Dan? Oh Dan? |

I don't have the slightest doubt about his knowledge. Not one bit. I'm just wishing he would share it in a slightly different, maybe more targeted, way. |

I'm starting to hope for a meltdown of confidence, a massive Ebay failure, and the collapse of one or two grading companies. Maybe collectors will be forced to meet at more frequent shows... |

Jim- Kevin is not being ridiculed by anybody. Some are asking him for more specific information, some are questioning why he continues to post the same thing every time, and I have asked him if he sees positive things in the hobby, too. |

I love it ---learn your product--ha ha--I suspect Kevin could put 10ncards in front of most of you--5 altered, 5 okay and most would have a 50/50 chance of guessing whether it had been altered. |

I think this would be, and could be, a great topic to be discussed on this board. As Kevin stated, going into extreme detail could potentially be harmful as there are always a small few who could use the information for the wrong reasons, understood. However, Kevin coming forth and stating that he would be more than willing to share at least some information is something that I know I, as well as others I am sure, would greatly appreciate. For that, I thank you Kevin. |

Why is it always "Net54's" fault? What did this web hosting company ever do to anyone? Answer- nothing !! I get so sick and tired of hearing this crap...and the crap about nothing is ever any good on this board anymore and no one posts anymore. If you said anything like this then you are obviously in the river in Egypt, called "De-Nile"...We currently have the most, and best, board members I have EVER seen, INCLUDING the FullCount days. I thank everyone for that...including the folks that talk smack about this board...I appreciate hearing criticisms...It's part of anything we do.....I think Kevin has enlightened us quite a bit, Jim C is obviously worried about his cards, and most of the rest of us don't care. I do care about altering and bad things in the hobby but like to talk about the good stuff even more. It's just a few thoughts I figured I would throw in...Getting back to topic if the bottom fell out of the market I would be both disappointed and happy. I would definitely still be a collector.....more than ever. |

Sorry, but I just don't believe that if you collected the pr-ex cards that most of this board collects, you would be as interested. I am not and most others aren't. Don't get me wrong, I do think it's important....just not as much as you. You are more than welcome to your views and to continually express them.....You have continually stated you don't come onto this board to make friends, which I do, and does disappoint me a little. To each their own though. Also, for the record, how many times have I asked you to stop posting what you think? (answer should be 0)........I would like to see you post something, sometime, about what the rest of the board is interested in too. I am not trying to be hateful but you are somewhat of a 1 pony show, and it does get a little old....again, no disrespect meant....regards |

King, what can you do? You make good points, but you and I know it’s the game now. Dealers submit trimmed cards over and over hoping to find a weak link in the system, sometimes it works and these cards end up in a holder. |
